The folluaiug .-ketch of the antece
dent*, education, life and service* of die
new President of the French Republic
may be read with interest at the preeent
time.
Marie Edtue Patrice Matinee MacMa-
hon is a d^ceu ant of an anoint Irish
family, their paternal conn-non from
. the monarch* 01 that country u far oaek
aa the year 1014. I'Iimdiid tfieir 6»vo
tion to the Caihollo religion they were
deprived of ineir ivies t<o tiobilny. In
the year 1760. two brothers, Man rue unit
John,emigrate! to France, -tud there Mt
tied. Maurice bad previously served un
der Prince Ed ward of Scotland, and on his
arrival in France was appointed to a cap
taincy in the Freiu-n nervine. John was
CWated Marquin d’Eqnily ami became
in possession thereby of large estates.
The race of the MucMahoua was well
known for the lighting qualities of ite
membora. Their n ones me frequently
fonnd in French military works, showing
that they participated in the disasters as
well as the glories which attended the
French arms. At Waterloo, one of the
brothers commanded the Third Cmras
aiers, the dower of Napolbon’s army, and
in a single charge on the English lines,
that regiment, from its full complement,
nearly two thousand men, only eight e~
caped unharmed. One hundred and one
were wounded and the remainder perished
in the oondict.
The present President of the Republic
of France is the son of John, and is now
prob.ib.y in his sixty-seventh year. H
was educated at the Military School of St
Cjr, from whence he entered the sniff
corps, took part in the expedition to Al
giers, and afterwards acted as aid-ue-
eamp to General Arcbard, at the siege of
Antwerp. In 1833, he returned to Al
giers, where he distinguished himself by
his ability and undaunted courage, for
which he was promoted to a captaincy.
In 1845, he became a colonel, and briga
dier-general in 1848, when he was made
governor of the Algerian provinces ot
Constantine and Oran.
In 1852, he became General of Divis
ion; and, in 1855, succeeded Camobert
as commander of an infantry division in
Marshal Boquets’ corps in the Crimea.
There he distinguished himself by his
personal valor in the great and success
ful assault of the Malakoff, establishing
himself in that stronghold and holding
it in spite of the repeated and prolonged
efforts of the Russians to iislodge him.
For this service the Emperor conferred
on him the Cross of the Legion of Honor,
and at the expiration of the war he was
made Senator.
Again, in 1857, he was ordered to Af
rica, where he commanded an expedition
against the Kabyies, and was afterwards
appointed Commander-in-Chief of the
sea and land forces m Algeria.
In 1859, when the Italian war broke
out, he was appointed commander o>
the second corps of the army of the Alps,
and was by Napoleon’s side throughout
that campaign. His services at the bat
tle of Magenta were so important that
the Emperor created him on the field
Duke of Magenta and Marshal of France
Iu 1801, he represented France at the
coronation of the King of Prussia. Iu
18G4, he was appointed Governor-General
of-Aigeria, from whence he was recalled
ou the breaking out of the war with
Prussia to take command of the first
army corps of the Rhine. The history
of his military career irom that event, ao
recent, will be remembered by every in
telligent reader of Thk Sun as a succes
sion of disaster. Veisenberg and
Woerth shattered his hopes ot entering
German territory. He fell with the Em
pire, and it was only after the establish
ment of the Thiers Government and the
outbreak of the war against the Paris
Commune that he again came into notioe.
When the Commune had taken posses
sion of Paris and began its excesses, Mac
Mali >n was invested with supreme com
mand of the army of Versailles, and by
bis energetic efforts the Commune was
effectually crushed out of existence.
No man ever rose more rapidly or ob.
tained higher positions of honor in the
French service than MacMahon. He is
ot undoubted courage; often rash in his
daring uud impetuous iu his movements;
but is not credited with great executive
abilities. He was much devoted to the
late Emperor, by whom he was so often
honored; andj judging Irom his past
record and the nnanimou? vote of the
Right tor his election to the Presidency,
all evidently tend- c r re-establishment
of the Monarchy in France.

A Model Piece of Mechanism.—Yes
terday,'bi iuviiation of Mr. James Mil
ler, we vi-ited t e fit'.mg and repair de
partment of toe Howe Machine Com-
■j, to witness the first running of the
neatest little cteam engine it has been
our lot to see. It is a beaatifol piece of
inrchunism, and as a whole, in construc
tion, unlike ail other engines we heve
ever examined, while it partakes in part
of the moat valuable points of he latest
improved lull sizeu engines. We do not
pret-nd to give an exact description of
ttiiH neat little article, which shonld be
seen to be apprt dated and properly un
derstood. It is thirty inches iu length
by eignt inches in width, and weighs
about one bunUr-d pounds; cylinder 3x5
inches,giving two-borst power,and makes
two hundred revolutions per minute,with
hve pounds ol steam.
The boiler is an upright pattern, twenty
inches iu diameter, three feet nine inches
high, sixteen-inch fire-box, and contains
tmrteen flues, with a capacity of twenty-
five gallons o> water, and capable oi
tearing two hundred and fifty pounds of
steam pressure, and has all the other ap
pliances of tli- largest and latest im
proved boiltrs.
It is uue to uiirit and genius to say
t jut this petite «« plus ultra engine was
entirely .ashamed and built by Mr. James
Miller and Mr. Thomas J. Harper, the
Agent and Adjuster of the company, and
should be exhibited as a m> del of fine
workmanship at every mechumftil exhi
bition ’h the country.
The painting and ornamental work by
Mr. William L. Jams, another employe
of the company, evinces a rare taste in
the artist for his profession. It is a
beautiful specimen of the art, and for
ueathess of design ana fine finish, we
think has never oeen equaled in this city.
It was first intend d by Mr. Miller that
the engine should be christened “The
Elias Howe,” but his co-laborers, know
ing him to be absent on business from
this city, performed the ceremony tnem-
selves, and dubbed their l'ttlo bantling
James Miller;” and for weight and
size, we will bet our best plug hat that it
will run faster, has a greater amount ot
power, will do more work and make less
noise than any other engiue in the State
of Georgia.

Saji Francisco, Jane 9.— Dispatches
from Boy Ip’s Cam#,. Aojfd yesterday, re
late the particulars of an atrocious mas
sacre of Modoc prisoners, supposed to
have been perpetrated by Oregon volun
teer* Saturday morn.ng, James Fair-
child and about a dozen other men left
Fairchild’s rancho, on Cotton wood creek,
with seventeen Modoc captives, includ
ing women and children, and Shseknasty
Jim, Bogus Charley, iabee Jack, Pony
and Little John The Indians were in,
wagons drawn by foar ma’es. At the
crossing of Lost river the party en
countered a body of Oregon vol
unteers under tLe command of
Captain Hiser. The soldiers gathered
atiout the wagon and questioned Fair-
child. The latter told them the ludians
were all Hot Creeks except, Little John,
and that there were no’charges against
them. Fairchild undertook to push ou
to Boyles’ camp, aud the volunteers re
tired to their camp near Crawley’s. On
the road Fairchild noticed two men
ahead, ridiug to Rocky Point, as if to in
tercept him. When the team appioaebed
the two men, one of them presented a gun
at Fairchild, saying: “Get down, you
old whirehaeded .” “By what author
ity,’ sain Faircnild. “By mine, I am go
ing to kill Indians and yon,too,” was the
reoiy. The leader caught hold ot the
mules and unhitched them, cutt.ng the
harness. Fairchld. clinging to the lines,
leaped to the ground. The poor wretches
implored fur mercy, imi begged Fairchild
to save them Tne warriors were unarm
ed and k u ew resistance was useless. They
were the coolest in the party, although
fearing inevr «ble death. The women aud
children shri« ked, greaned and wept pit
eously. Faircnild had nothing but a
small pistil., and six inches from his
ear was the muzzle of a needle
gun. Heuaysteuis came into Ins eyes,
anu he mingled his entreaties with those
of tne Modocc, iu hopes mat the inussa
ere might be avoided. He adds that it
was a terrible cene, “one I never shub
torget, and suudder wnen I think ol
what I saw aud heard. The tear'ul
voices of those women and children still
ring in tny ears; but theeuwari.ly hounus
were not to he backed.” A suot aud Lit
tle JoUn lay dead in ilm wagon, with a
bullet iu his brain. The mules dashed
away with Fairchild, who became eu-
tangled in the lines. Five more shots
were tired in ru[)id succe.-sion, by which
Tahee Jack, Pony and Mooch were killed,
and Little Jouu’s squaw was IrighMully
wounded iu the shoulder. Away ahead
on the road in the direction of Boyle’s
camp, a cloud of dust was perceived, in-
dicuiing Mie approach ot a team. The
murderers espied the dust, and shortly
afterwards were riding rapiuly away.
Sergeant Murphy, of bat.ery G, Fourth
Artillery, with ten men and a eamster,
came up to the sceDe of the massacre.
The sergeant took charge of affairs, and
remained with his men on the ground.
Fairchild, -i teamster and the wounded
squaw with her two childreu catue in at
2 o’clock this morning.
It is generally supposed the guilty
parties were Oregon volunteers. Fair-
child is of that opinion himself. Tne
warriors killed were not charged with
murder. Those who know them best
say they have only been paiticipators in
open fights. Every one here condcmus
the affair as atrocious and without excuse
There is no doubt but the murders were
carried out upon carefully arranged
plain as Fairchild noticed the horsemen
on the road ahead and behind when the
shots were fired. Had John Fairchild,
instead of James Fairchild been present,
another murder might have been add
to the list, as Oregonians are bitter in
their hatred to John Y i. child. The
old man and the other Californians, as
well as the Warm Spring Indians, have
only a few weeks longer to serve.
Sergt. Clinton is fast failing.

scene was most solemn. He asetuded

he was wilting to die.

reading a passage from the Bible and of

sheriff if he uad any remarks to make,to
which he replied that he had nothing to
say that would do him auy good if they
wanted to hang him they could do so.

A Nashville physician famishes the
Banner with tne following precautionary
suggestions against cholera, which we
reprint for the benefit of our citizens :
Choltra is general’y a preventable dis
ease, and in the early stages can he ar-
restidif the habits be good. Study,
therefore, temperance in eating and
dnnkiug. Don’t believe that alcoholic
stimulants are useful iu guaiding you
against au attack. Let ihe food be nu
tritious and keep the digestive organs iu
a heahhful condition. Use no stale or
uncooked vegetables. Let your meat be
fresh and your vegetables oe well cooked
and all Iruits be fresh and ripe.
Gleauhuess of tne body is of the first
consideration. Keep the skin iu a healthy
state by bathing die whole bouy with a
tree use ot map. Cold bathing is best
used iu the n ormngasyuu get up, never
just before going to bed.
Cleanliness in your homes of equal
importance. Let your apartments be
dry—nev. r damp. Suffer uo decayed
vegetables or stiuumt. water to remain
in ycur cellars or yards. Any disagreea
ble smell horn privies, cesspools or
sinks is proof ol their uiihealihmess. Re
move th-m by necessary repairs, lime,
chloride oi lime, or whitewashing. Yen-
tilate well y >ur houses and apartments.
Expose your bed to the air and sun.
Avoid excessive fatigue. Keep regular
hours iu eating and sleeping, and wear
flannel next to the skin. A good plan is,
if the bowel \ are at all disordered, to
w ear a b oad band of flannel pi flannel
belly-band) around the body, reaching
from the nips to the ribs. Maintain the
natural temperature of the body by suf-
fici< nt clothing; especially keep tue feet
warm. Never, when heated, sit on the
ground or stone seat% or sleep under an
open window. If exposed to wet, change
your boots and clothes as soon aa possi
ble. Take no purgative medicine, ex
cept by direction of a physician.
The same physician states that cholera
is almost invariably preceded by a pain
less diarrhoea, and this is in all cases to
be promptly treated. We give further
suggestions from him in regard to treat
ment:
When diarrhoea is present, go to bed
and maintain a position on tne bacs; use
abundance of blankets, and send for a
physician; stay in Ded until yon are well;
don’t consider yourself well until you
have had a natural movement from the
bowels; abstain from all drink; apply
mustard plasters to the bowels.
Id the absence of a physician, the
adult can take ten drops of laudanum and
10 drops of spirits of camphor. A child of
tea yeais may take five drops of lauda
num and five drops of camphor. A child
of five years may take three drops of
laudanum and three of spirits of cam
phor, and these drops may be repeated
every twenty minutes, bo loBg as diar-
rLcea, or pain, or vomiting continues.
Tms will save time; but in ail cases send
fvr a physician.
Vo not ye' up to pass the evacuai" ns;
but use the bed pan or othei ve-
nience.
Never chill the surface of the body l>y
getting out of bed.
Remove immediately ail tne evacua
tions from your rooms; scald all -he
utensils used, or disinfect them with
chloride of time; scald, also, your soiled
clothing.
